This map shows the regions
of the world where Old Prussian was once spoken (red circle).
Old Prussian came from the Baltic family of languages in the
Balto-Slavic branches of Indo-European. It was most closely
related to modern Lithuanian
and Latvian. Old Prussian
died out in the 1600s, being replaced completely by German and
later by Polish.
